Self-hosted home operating system

Every hub does the basics. Family OS does everything.

The family calendar, the meal plan, and the lights — plus the pool's chemistry, the wine cellar, the marina, private aviation, an off-grid microgrid, and yes, drone patrols when you want them. 75 modules across 9 systems, all on hardware you own.

The family, not just the house

It's a Family OS. Emphasis on family.

Behind the cameras and the microgrid is the part you live in every day — the calendar everyone shares, the meals, the chores, the pets, the people. The whole household runs from one place, and it actually keeps up.

Shared calendar, meal plan, and grocery list — everyone in sync.
Chores, routines, and allowance that keep track of themselves.
Pets, medications, documents, and the family vault — all in one home.

Comfort at estate scale

Comfort, tuned down to the water chemistry.

The lights and thermostats are the easy part. Family OS holds the salt-water pool's chemistry, runs the sauna and the steam room, calls the elevator, cues the theater, and warms the floors — the comfort layer most platforms don't even model.

And yes, the lights and scenes too — they're just the easy part.

From the hangar to the wine cellar

It runs the estate, not just the house.

Most home platforms stop at the walls. Family OS keeps going — the hangar and helipad, the marina and the yachts, the garage turntable, the wine cellar, the research lab. The assets other systems have never heard of are first-class modules here.

Aviation, waterfront, and vehicles — hangar to marina to garage.
A wine cellar, a humidor, and a research cleanroom, climate-held.

Solar, battery, generator, and grid in one microgrid view — Family OS balances them and keeps the lights, the well pump, and the freezers running when the grid goes down.

Per-zone load so you can see what's actually drawing power.

Eyes everywhere

Security most homes can't imagine.

Drone patrols, thermal imaging, and a buried perimeter back up the cameras, locks, and motion sensors — every event in one live feed, with alerts that actually mean something.

Cameras, locks, and motion — plus drones, thermal, and perimeter.
An activity feed — what happened, where, and when.

Out past the walls, to the tree line

It manages the land, too.

The grounds are their own world — soil moisture bed by bed, irrigation zones, robot mowers working the lawns, the koi pond's filtration, and the river out back on a live flood watch. Acres under management, not just square feet.

When it gets serious

Built for the worst day, too.

Most of the time you'll never see it. But the shelter's life-support — air, power, water, comms — the escape-route network, the utility shutoffs, and one-touch panic to 911 are all modeled, monitored, and ready. Resilience as a first-class system, not an afterthought.

The full surface

75 modules. 9 systems. One way of building.

Family OS models the entire surface of a connected home — from the grocery list to the generator — as a catalog of modules that all share the same design and the same architecture. Adding the next one is a known quantity, never a rewrite.

Under the hood

Built to extend, not to lock in.

The hard part of a home hub isn't any one feature — it's keeping 75 of them coherent. Family OS does it with one repeatable pattern: every device type talks to a small provider interface, so a real backend drops in at a single seam without touching a line of UI.

One seam for real hardware

Each device type implements a provider interface. A file-backed mock runs today; a real integration — Hue, Sonos, Home Assistant, an alarm panel — drops in by changing what getLightsProvider() returns. No route or component changes.

Typed end to end

TypeScript everywhere, Zod-validated at every storage boundary. State is versioned JSON on disk — readable, easy to back up, with no database to operate or migrate.

One consistent slice

types → storage → API → page → components, built the same way every time. 75 modules, one mental model — which is exactly why the catalog can keep growing.

lib/lights/provider.ts

// The control surface every lighting backend implements.
// UI and API only ever talk to this interface — so swapping
// the mock for Hue/Home Assistant is a one-line change below.
export interface LightsProvider {
  readonly id: string;
  listLights(): Promise<Light[]>;
  getLight(id: string): Promise<Light | null>;
  setState(id: string, patch: LightStatePatch): Promise<Light | null>;
}

// Resolve the active provider. Branch here on a stored
// config value when real hardware is wired up.
export function getLightsProvider(): LightsProvider {
  return mockLightsProvider;
}
